In an effort to keep the ‘ish going on a semi-regular basis we invited (read: hassled) a Texas friend of the show, Jeremy Lowe, to talk some games with Carlos today. They dig into some LittleBigPlanet, Tekken 6, God of War “sacrifices” and bunch of other Tokyo Game Show related news. Also, notice how we disregard Jeremy’s daughter, Victoria, first podcast appearance in the background.
R3match just released show 4 of the “R3match Radio,” podcast for you guys to take an ear to.
The official word from the site:
We see the return of Juan, “the kid,” Perez on the show this week and we dig into the latest gaming news. Carlos talks about some of the exploitin’ he’s been doing in Pub Games, Juan’s “The Last Guy” on PSN, and Jason flies high in the remake of 1943. News is a bit Gears of War 2-flavored with some Sony updates trickled in and we end the show with a some site pimpage.
Pictorial Discussion this week (Fail?):
Halo 3’s “Mythic“
Inside you’ll find a few details on how you can get to workin’ at Kezins.com and we exchanged a few fanboy-ish words.

The third game in the Kingdom Hearts series, which has been long overdue for a sequel, should be announced at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, according to a rumor posted on Kotaku.
Disney and Square Enix collaborated on what, at the time, seemed like a weird combination of licenses but proved to steal our hearts with its action-RPG stylings. The post makes no mention of a release date but it’s likely to be out, at the earliest, Summer 2009 and it will be exclusive to Sony’s PS3.

Just saw the two-hour season premiere and couldn’t help but feel that gaming has infiltrated yet another show, “Prison Break,” and the influence clearly shows.
The following shouldn’t come off as too much of a spoiler, but today’s episode ended on another series’ signature cliffhanger. The players (pun intended) come to the realization that what they were looking for and found was actually just a piece of a bigger puzzle. A piece that represents 1 out of 6 items.
Sound familiar? It’s the same “fetch quest” mechanic found in plenty of games (i.e. Rare’s games, Assassin’s Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, as well as countless others) that artificially extends play time, but will it be effective in a show?
It seems like a cheap way to continue the show with the director, writer, whoever, giving themselves complete freedom to throw in unrelated events into the overarching story. Don’t be surprised to see a cross-country trek every episode to find the elusive “key cards.”
The series has been doing good so far, well into its fourth season with the same, expected twists that usually wind up entertaining and keeping you glued to the tube. We’ll see if its new gaming-focused approach measures up to its previous shows…might even be the template they use for the upcoming game.
Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to this year’s Penny Arcade Expo. Taking a look at what the PlayStation booth has to offer, it looks like it’s going to be an exciting show. PAX is unique because they allow the public to get hands on experience with titles that were press-only for E3 and Leipzig. Here’s a quick preview video of what Sony has for gamers at PAX:
Surprised by our own persistence and dedication to keeping a podcast up and running on a weekly basis, we bring you Show 3 of “R3match Radio.”
The word from the site:
After ONE show co-hostin’ with Jason and Carlos last week, Juan took a quick vacation out…somewhere in the East Coast. But the show must go on and the super-duo brought it this week with some Mercenaries 2 talk, Xbox 360 motion-control rumor-mongering, as well as “Red Ring of Death” reminiscing.
Pictorial Discussion: Halo Wars Box Art
We threw in the following song, from our favorite ad at the moment, for some added affect:
‘Mercenaries 2′ Ad Lyrics
Oh, nooo…
Oh, nooo…
Oh, nooo…Yo, yo, yo.
Oh, no, you didn’t,
Sucka try to play me,
But you never paid me,
Never,Oh, no, you didn’t,
Payback is a-comin’,
You will be runnin’ for-e-ver,Oh, no, you didn’t,
Until I get my vengeance,
I will never end this may-hem,Oh, no, you didn’t,
I’m a mercenary,
You ain’t got a prayer,
You owe meeee

Our partners in crime at R3Match just finished recording their podcast show #2 last night featuring our own Juan Perez and Carlos Macias. Carlos writes for R3Match in addition to his work here on Kezins. In this edition, C4 (the host) made things work despite the fact we were having audio issues.

We’re big fans of GameTrailers TV here at Kezins and, as fans, we look forward to the usual breaking news and exclusive trailers the show provides. In case you guys missed it last night, their reveal Godfather II episode made an exclusive mention of a Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo landing on Xbox Live and PSN this Thursday, August 21.
Kezins got a chance to play the same demo at Comic Con in July and we came away impressed with how fun the force powers were to use. Fun enough that we forgot we had a lightsaber with us the whole time.
Considering the likely quality of Quest for Booty, Galaga Legions, and the above mentioned demo releasing this week, we must be heading into fall early this year.

Before Kezins, this writer got his start on R3match.com. We started a podcast on the site, but busy lives and conflicting schedules made it possible for only a few shows last year. Finally, we’ve got our “ish” together and have brought the R3match Radio Podcast back!
Listen in as Jason and yours truly dissect the latest in gaming and ramble on in this special “Resurrection Show.” 23-minutes of awesomeness awaits you here.
Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten ALL the kinks worked out yet, so to download you might want to try Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. If you just want to listen, any browser will work.
